Scholarship details
At the University of California, Berkeley, a new scholarship called the African Legal Impact Scholarship has been established with the intention of increasing the number of students from Africa who are considering pursuing additional legal education at Berkeley. Due to the extremely limited amount of funding that is available for the African Legal Impact Scholarship program each year, it is only possible to give the scholarship to a maximum of two worthy applicants.
